Which item is NOT typically included in an Individualized Education Program (IEP)?

• A. Present levels of performance
• B. Student attendance records
• C. Transition services
• D. Evaluation and reporting

Answer: (B)

An IEP is a plan that specifies how a student with a disability will receive specialized instruction and related services, how progress will be measured, and how the goal of the plan will be met. The elements you’ll usually see include the student’s present levels of performance, measurable annual goals, the special education and related services to be provided, how the student will participate with nondisabled peers, any accommodations or modifications, the use of assistive technology if needed, the dates and amount of services, and transition services for older students. Evaluation and reporting are also covered, describing how the student’s progress will be evaluated and communicated to parents.

Attendance records, while important to overall school records, are not a standard or required part of the IEP document. They don’t define the services or goals the IEP is designed to implement.
